(Reuters) -Reflection AI, a startup backed by Nvidia<\/a>, said on Thursday it has raised $2 billion in a new funding round that values the company at $8 billion, as investor interest in artificial intelligence<\/a> remains unabated.<\/p>\n

The funding round, led by Nvidia, saw participation from prominent investors, including former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Citi, and Donald Trump<\/a> Jr.-backed private equity firm 1789 Capital, as well as existing investors Lightspeed and Sequoia.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2024 by former DeepMind researchers Misha Laskin and Ioannis Antonoglou, Reflection develops tools that automate software development, a fast-growing use case for AI.<\/p>\n

The investment comes as the AI sector continues to attract significant interest from venture capital firms and investors.<\/p>\n

Global venture funding in the third quarter of 2025 rose 38% from a year earlier to $97 billion, with around 46% of the total invested in AI firms.<\/p>\n

Reflection’s new valuation marks a sharp step up from its previous round, when it raised $130 million at a $545 million valuation, according to PitchBook data.<\/p>\n

The company’s peers in the AI market include OpenAI<\/a> and China’s DeepSeek, among others.<\/p>\n
